CAMARILLO, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 27, 2008—
Surfware, Inc. announced today that the beta version of its flagship CAM
software, SURFCAM Velocity 4, is in the last phase of testing and has
been made available to SURFCAM Beta Users.

After testing the beta version, Tom Bentley, President of Programming
Plus, Inc. in New Berlin, Wisconsin, states, “We
have found the new SURFCAM Velocity 4 beta to have an amazing array of
new features. This is the best quality beta version we have seen from
SURFCAM in many years.”

According to Pavel Cuc, Technical Director of 3E Praha Engineering in
Prague, Czech Republic, “Many new features
have been implemented in SURFCAM Velocity 4 that elevate the product to
an entirely new level. The new 4- and 5-Axis functionality gives us full
control over the tool motion and achieves the best cutting conditions
during machining.”

The new and enhanced features under Beta review include:

New 3-Axis High-Speed Machining– new finish
strategies feature smooth, fluid toolpaths and optimized retracts that
eliminate abrupt changes in direction allowing maximum speeds and
feeds and reduced cycle time. Processing speed has been increased by
up to 80% over the previous SURFCAM version. Among the newly
implemented HSM operations are Rest Machining, Offset Pencil Cut and
3D Offset.

Enhanced 4- and 5-Axis Machining– newly
implemented Gouge Avoidance Strategies allow users to specify up to
four separate check surface groups; individual Gouge Avoidance
Strategies can be applied to each successive group. This version also
includes new Retract Styles and enhanced Gap Handling. The new
functionality enables total control of the tool motion during any
event of the cutting process.

“SURFCAM is the cornerstone of our business
and has long held a leading position in this industry,”
says Stephen A. Diehl, President and CEO of Surfware. “For
many years, we’ve been known for innovation,
quality and ease of use, and SURFCAM Velocity 4 confirms this
reputation. We look forward to completing beta testing soon in order to
bring this much-anticipated release to customers, new and old.”
